MacBook - Cracked case - repair time

I have the common problem that where the lid closes on the macbook it has caused cracks. I took it to my re seller who will fix it under warranty but they say it will take minimum of 2 WEEKS! I think this is an insane time to be without the computer for is this normal for it to take so long?

No, it is not normal. I think your warranty works with Apple too, take it to an Apple store and tell them, they will literally take apart the topcase in front of you, put on a new one and then give it back to you. I'm not 100% sure but I am certain that people have had their laptop plastic repaired by Apple for free.
